Evidence

The remaining passages did not follow so clear an order. They established the death and ascension of Christ: ‘God said, O Jesus, I am the sender of your death, and I will raise you to me’; and the sanctity of the Apostles and other Christians. Two passages ‘praise Christ and His Gospel, in which is direction and light’, but one of these misrepresents the actual Qur’anic attack on monasticism. — Norman Daniel, Islam and the West, 942
